I loved this book !!! The best part was when the profesers made friends.The best character in my opinion is Leni because she's so resilient to help the profesers .

I liked the dodos the most. I liked how the scientists recreated two dodos. I think it’s was kind of realistic

This is a great book.full of adventure. If you like birds,mystery and adventure, this is the book for you. The mystery all began when the professors and Leni go to find dodo bones and they hear something but assume they are just hearing things . It got even more suspicious when both professors were given a beautiful bunch of flowers. I was going to tell you what the trick was and about the enemies but I don't want to ruin the surprise.

This is quite a calm book, and it was cute because they succeeded and could rebreed dodos. I like the parrot because he is very funny and repeats things that people say. I would recommend this to other people who like animals.

I liked Leni because she loves birds like me. I liked the part when the Dodo came back to life. I learned that Dodos were related to pigeons. I would recommend it to my friends who like nature too.

I think that this book is fun yet educating and makes you want to read on. I like the way that the author has put in some funny phrases My favourite character was Leni, because she likes adventure. I would recommend this book to someone who has an interest in birds.

I didn’t like the sugar king or his wife, as they wanted to keep the dodo extinct.

I loved this book because the characters found out how to bring an extinct animal like a dodo back to life. I wish that we could do this with all of the extinct animals and it's an area of science I would like to study.

This book was adventurous and was about two scientists and a girl that are going to bring the dodo back.
